“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Tonight’s musical offering:

“Beginnings” – Leonid & Friends (Chicago cover) – better enhanced with headphones on, volume cranked, knowing these are Russians covering this American classic, maybe even better that Chicago could do

Crack on now…dig it, and jump over those sustained anxieties – if only for a few moments.
